Tumble into some good feelings

Drumroll please… The NSVRC has burst onto the scene on with a new online presence, welcoming a Tumblr blog to the social media lineup. The new Tumblr, lovingly titled “Feel Good.[1]” has been deemed the place to be for all things healing. Feel Good[1] is a place for content about trauma coupled with the triumph of the human spirit. We’re striving to make this online space a true sanctuary. Our hope is that everything posted to Tumblr will be trauma-informed, promote self and community care, and never need a trauma notice or trigger warning.

Just to give you a little sneak peek into what’s been posted so far, we’ve launched on an enthusiastic reminder that play is a source of renewal[2]. I’m totally loving the artistic and deep reflections of a poet who reminds us that we can enjoy our own company[3]. For the geeky, science loving healers among us (ooh, ooh, pick me!), settle into a good read on the healing properties of tears[4].

Finally, my personal favorite is the recent post about the cutest mountain climber you will ever see[5]! Little miss strawberry shortcake is the embodiment of strength, triumph, and tenacity. She reminds us that every day is a day when you will probably do something amazing. I hope that you will take the time to reflect on the good that you will do today, celebrate your victories, and know that the world is a better place because you are in it.
